AN ENTERPRIsING PAPER.-The
Harrisburg Morning Telegram is the
most enterprising journal outside of
the more metropolitan cities (; and
with circulation of $50, 900, it pushes
close upon the heels of even many Of
the city papers. The 1elegrana's enter
prise is not confined to size and amount
and quality of reading matter, but lis
illustrations are equal to many found
in our leading magazines. Nor does
it pander to depraved taste by court
ing the notorious; on the contrary, it
studies to please the highest intellect,
and advocates progressive ideas and
principles of rising humanity. Its
illustrations include the leading repre-
sentatives of civil and religious gov
eminent, in this and other countries,
in the order as prominent events bring
them to notice.
Seeing by the local papers of Mar
tinsburg the esteem in which st. JOS
eph's congregation hold their pastor,
Rev. H. j. McKeefry, and the mani
festations of the same on his return
from Ireland, the Telegram Manager,
Mr.. James M. Place, sent over here
and had sketch prepared and an en-
craving made of the Reverend gentle
man, which will appear IN the forth
coming issue, (31st). That it will be
appreciated by his many friends here,
we have no hesitation in affirming, as
many copies have already been en-
gagged. The newsboy will have them
for sale Saturday evening, Both and
31st; and should any fail to get cop
les, and desiring the same, enclose
cents in postage to The Telegram, Har
risburg, Pa, and we will insure
prompt return.

was very good and very enjoyable. The
Saxaphone solo by Mr.. L. Mattheai, was
finely rendered, and was special treat
to the audience. There was somewhat
less boisterous demeanor, but the ele-
ment of quiet attention was not holding
sway to any great extent. 1t is only
necessary to indulge in incessant chatter
in order to convince your quiet neigh
bors that you are free and independent,
and despise the trammels that good
breeding would impose upon you. Talk
away, so that there will be no hesitancy
in ranking you where you belong. There
is no law to prevent you from publish
ing to the world just how you have been

of ill-manners under which you labor !;

Berkeley county was visited by q
heavy wind and rain storm yesterday
evening. Mill creek, passing through
the southern end Of the county, was
higher than for many years, a num-
Der of dams being swept away. In
the vicinity of Little Georgetown
great damage was done to roads and
bridges. The barn of Mr.. Popp, who
lives near Williamsport, Md, was
struck by lightning and burned, to-
gether with its contents, including
hay, wheat, farm implements and a
valuable horse.

Many farmers very reasonably COM
plain that in their busiest season,
hands are hard to get and hard to keep
at work. Picnics and excursions and
holidays must be attended, while the
hay and wheat may lay. To some
extent the complaint holds good to a
certain class of workmen in every
thing. If they have little money
the railroads and excursion managers
must have it, but in winter when need
comes they do not go for help where
they spent their money. The business
man or merchant waits for much of
his money until the pleasure season
sover. There are many hard thoughts
that are never uttered. The rich waste
little money on public pleasure trips,
and the poor have none to waste.

him a fine galvanic battery OF his own

Storms have been quite frequent in

proving itself most violent in the
section lying between Charlestown
and Middleway. Much timber and
fencing were blown down, and other
damage done. Mr.. George Shirley
was out i'm a field when the storm
came on, when he was literally pros
trated to the ground by it and had to
take refuge under stout bush grow
ing near by, to keep from being blown
off his farm. Mr.. d. w. Clenden-
.ning's wheat in shock was blown
down and scattered in every direc-
ton. One of the most severest storms
of the season visited us on Thursday

from side to side. A number oftrees
were blown down and others broken,
the wind and lightning playing a
prominent part. Two yearling colts
belonging to Mr.. Newton Moore, near
Mechanicstown, were killed by light
ming. Three telephone poles and q
locust tree were struck near Mr..
Samuel Baugher's, west town. A
stack of hay belonging to Mr.. 4. j.
Shipway was blown down. A CHM
.ney on the dwelling of the Haines
heirs was blown over, the tin roof
broken in and the house considerably
damaged inside thereby. Coming
nearer home-entirely too close for
comfort-the lightning struck the tel
ephone pole near the corner OF our
dwelling. Some of the brick coping
upon the Carter House was carried
away like so much chat. Several
cellars i'm town were again flooded,
and probably other damage done.
